During high school I had the opportunity to sing in the A Cappella Choir. My senior year our choir director decided we needed more of a challenge. So in addition to presenting the stage version of "Showboat," we started singing Randall Thompson compositions. "Alleluia" is one that we sang at a Christmas Choir Festival. My mother said it was like listening to angels sing. Although she was probably a biased observer, we were always given high marks by the judges. The video below is that piece sung by a group that, in my memory, we were an equal to. (May I suggest you turn off the Tabernacle Choir at the bottom before listening to this fine choir.)
Look to this day!
For it is life, the very life of life.
For yesterday is but a dream.
And tomorrow is only a vision.
But today well lived makes
every yesterday a dream of happiness
and every tomorrow a vision of hope.
Look well, therefore, to this day!
Such is the salutation of the dawn.
For it is life, the very life of life.
For yesterday is but a dream.
And tomorrow is only a vision.
But today well lived makes
every yesterday a dream of happiness
and every tomorrow a vision of hope.
Look well, therefore, to this day!
Such is the salutation of the dawn.
